This was hilarious. I can only imagine Crane as a substitute teacher, especially since he's completely disregarding fume hoods and basic lab safety. He's still got that fixation on fear, too, and I like his sarcastic, condescending attitude towards the students. His reaction to the "Professor Ichabod" nickname was especially funny, especially his surprise that the embarrassing nickname managed to stick. The ending, where he runs into Professor Long and tries to explain himself, was also a real riot.

There are so many little things that I love about this story, the "No, you may not call me Professor Ichabod" and also the line "...if you feel you are incapable of following a simple set of instructions..." I think that one is my favorite. I just love how condensending Scarecrow.
